Discover the enchanting interplay of sound in Three Guitars, a stunning collaboration featuring the legendary Larry Coryell, the vibrant Badi Assad, and the innovative John Abercrombie. Beautifully recorded in 2002 at New York’s St. Peter's Episcopal Church, this album emerges as a masterclass in acoustic fusion-perfectly blending their diverse musical backgrounds into a luminous tapestry of guitar artistry.

Coryell and Abercrombie, both titans of electric jazz from the '70s, take center stage with their steel-stringed guitars, which create a striking contrast against Assad’s delicate nylon-stringed classical guitar. The Brazilian virtuoso not only dazzles with her strings but also enhances the experience with her captivating vocals and percussion made with nothing but her body and voice. Standout tracks like Coryell's “No Flight Tonite,” Abercrombie's haunting “Timeless,” and Assad's mesmerizing “After The Rain” truly capture the unique chemistry and creativity this trio brings forth.

Returning to vinyl for the first time since 2005, this reissue on a sumptuous 180-gram One Step Pressing LP and SACD Hybrid Multi-Channel format promises an auditory bliss that serious collectors won’t want to miss. Three Guitars is more than an album-it’s an intimate meeting of musical minds that marks a thrilling moment in contemporary jazz. Embrace this collector’s gem that immortalizes a rare confluence of talent and tradition.
